This was an EXTREMELY interesting paper on what modern LLMs can learn from older older symbolic AI / expert system approaches to improve the validity of what those statistical models generate on their own, using the Cyc system as the contrast to the modern systems.

@benklaasen To a point, Lord Copper. What we were building classified as '#ExpertSystems' (or, to be perfectly precise, tools for building expert systems). We survived until 1991, but then the economy went into yet another unnecessary recession caused by yet more #Tory incompetence, and all our industrial customers just stopped funding research and development.

Very good look at the variety of problems with automated decision making for social services, credit ratings, predicted recidivism, etc.. Products exist doing these things right now, and there are no regulations or checks.

The systems are flawed and dangerous; resulting in deaths, false accusations, imprisonment, children being taken away, and more.

ChatGPT as an #natural #language interface for (and between) #ExpertSystems on various domains. These expert systems should be a more reliable source of #knowledge than bulk #internet data.

Using a #mood/#subject recognizer to label internet pages and social media posts, then using the information to train ChatGPT to recognize and avoid #bigotry, #racism, and all other bad things (much better than traumatizing human evaluators!)
